Last night, the Backstreet Boys sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 1 of the World Series at Tropicana Field, and… they weren’t bad! No, really! They gave the United States’ national anthem a sweet street-corner spin, and their harmonies were sweet enough to make up for the lack of Max Martin production flourishes. Kind of sad that only Nick Carter rated getting his full name read out by the announcer, especially with the way Brian Littrell busted out that bit about gallant streams. [YouTube]
